Who doesn't love a good session of God Rays?

Great blue of the sky as well.

The name for this landscape view that has different levels of shadows/greyness of distant hills against hills is ... aaaaah, I keep forgetting!!!

On Willis Street there is a balcony. Known by many, loved by some, forgotten by most.  Thank you Rob for honouring the memories.

For 6 years Raj and I shared the stories of Aotearoa New Zealand people that were creating startups, working in tech, and from the media. Access Granted NZ was a labour of love, gave us many adventures, and allowed us to meet so many amazing people. It'll always be a happy memory for me.

The All Blacks need all the luck, and a lot more skill and oomph, this weekend as they take on South Africa one more time.

tee hee

ALWAYS BE YOURSELF! UNLESS YOU CAN BE BATMAN THEN ALWAYS BE BATMAN

Turtles getting out on the log.

Whilst Staglands has plenty of birds and farm animals it also has a few 'bush buildings', which are all originals. There's a jail, a smithy, a general store, all from the early/mid-1800s when pakeha were expanding out into the depleting bush. And of course, the Victorians claimed to be good honest Christians (as they stole land and killed those they had done deals with), so a church is a must.

Sharing gossip with a Kunekune.

The feathers on this gorgeous red masked bird* have the feel of an 18th century painter.  anyone know the name of this bird species?
